A REVOLUTION IN FOOD SAFETY

T-Sticks are a single-use, disposable cardboard thermometer used to quickly check if meat, fish or poultry are thoroughly cooked and safe to eat. The tip of the T-Stick changes from white to colored within 3-10 seconds (depending on which temperature T•Stick you're using), indicating a safe temperature has been reached.

Use T-Sticks to prevent infection from food-borne bacteria, such as E. coliO157:H7. T-Sticks are much easier to use than meat thermometers. The sensing part of a meat thermometer must be entirely inserted to be accurate, which is difficult to do with a 3/8-inch thick hamburger. T-Sticks eliminate cross-contamination, and do not need to be recalibrated like regular thermometers.

MEET THE INVENTOR

Since the time Tom began washing glassware at age 14 in the MIT Food Technology Lab in 1943, he has been cooking up one invention after another.
